Birling Gap, East Sussex, April the outhouse bearing the number 3 remains intact perched on the cliff edge at the East Sussex beauty spot. Commiserations to the Oaten family who had expected 5 to 7 years continued use as holiday home but 7 years erosion in almost as many months started undercutting the property so it has to be demolished. Property no4 now has the newly rendered outer end wall but if erosion continues at this rate it may suffer the same fate next year. David Burr/Alamy Live News
